The motorhome has been designed to carry loads within specified limits. Exceeding these
limits will greatly affect the handling of the motorhome, create an unsafe condition and may
void warranties. These limitations are defined in three ways:
1. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) - Maximum permissible weight of this
motorhome. The GVWR is equal to or greater than the sum of the Unloaded Vehicle
Weight plus the Net Carrying Capacity.
2. Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) - Maximum load carried by an axle: sum of
rating may be more than GVWR to allow for load variations.
3. Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) - Means the maximum allowable loaded
weight of this motorhome with its towed trailer or towed vehicle.
NOTE: Check the weight ratings of the motorhome on the serial number identification tag.
Additional terms used when discussing weight and distribution include:
• Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) - The total loaded weight of the RV
• Gross Axle Weight (GAW) - The total axle weight under any given load condition
• Unloaded Vehicle Weight (UVW) - Weight of this motorhome as built at the factory
with full fuel, engine oil, and coolants. The UVW does not include cargo, fresh water,
LP Gas, occupants, or dealer installed accessories.
• Net Carrying Capacities (NCC) - Maximum weight of all occupants including the
driver, personal belongings, food, fresh water, LP Gas, tools, tongue weight of towed
vehicle, dealer installed accessories, etc., that can be carried by this motorhome.
(NCC is equal to GVWR minus UVW).
NOTE: When establishing the NCC, weigh the motorhome with both a full fresh water
and LP Gas tank. Do not allow anyone to be in the motorhome when establishing this
rating. To determine the allowable tow rate subtract the GVWR from the NCC.
NOTE: Do not assume that you can fill all tanks and storage areas and be within the
GVWR. Weights of stored items and passengers will vary greatly and will affect total
weight of the motorhome. For calculation purposes fresh water weighs 8.33 pounds
per gallon. LP Gas weighs 4.5 pounds per gallon.
